Topic: Castlevania: The Adventure on 3DS Virtual Console

[Reinhart77]

I saw that Kiyuhito posted on the Castlevania Wiki that Castlevania: The Adventure will appear on the virtual console in Japan on the 3DS on March 12.

Rejoice!  And of course, hope a North American release isn't too far behind it.

They should release The Adventure Rebirth instead, but it's ok

[KaZudra]

I would be happy for the GBA or Rebirth, but the GB releases were too weak for me to play again

It is good news after a long time. I hope more Virtual Console Castlevania.

EDIT
*Topic: What is 3DS WiiWare? It's called Virtual Console.

Yay. An excellent opportunity to buy an old and terrible game - AGAIN!

I guess this is great news for some people and I respect that, but there's no way I'm ever paying for Castlevania Adventure again. Also, I agree that it should've been ReBirth, but I guess the original needs to be there or something. Maybe Belmont's Revenge will come out now, which is good. I would possibly pay for that even though I already have a cart. Maybe. I only like it because of the soundtrack, to be honest. And it's a better game than Adventure, but what game isn't?

Belmont's Revenge would be worth it to download. That one was actually a very good game. Or Adventure ReBirth.

[crisis]

ok... What's so exciting about this again? Oh right, nothing.


Just as much as if SotN was rererereleased as a download for the PSVita. Rejoice!

[Puwexil]

I love The Adventure with all my heart. Good news.

If Nintendo wants me to pay for Gameboy games that I already own (but my GB died), they can make them 3D like they did with the NES games. Why the hell would I pay $7 for a Gameboy game when I could get it for $2 at a used game store? Why pay $7 for an old, 2D black&white game that I could beat in one sitting when for the same price I could get a colorful, 3D game that's a popular classic (Kirby)?

^exactly. Not to mention The Adventure is one of the worst CV games, they already demo'd CV1 3D way back when the 3DS was still new (to positive reception if i recall), why not just release that instead? Makes no sense.

[shelverton.]

This is all part of Konami's masterplan to destroy the future of 2D Castlevania. Imagine all the new kids downloading this game after only playing LoS. They're gonna hate it and think that all 2D Castlevanias are like Adventure. "NEVAR MAEK A 2D CASTLEVANIA AGAIN CAUSE IT SUCKS!" they'll cry. And that's probably what Konami wants to hear. They don't wanna make a 2D platformer ever again. "Here! Play this old 2D Castlevania! Did you like it? No, we didn't think you would either! Now, quit your whining and let us get on with LoS 2, 3, 4 and 5."

[Dremn]

Why not Belmont's Revenge instead? It's the superior game.

I have no intention of downloading this since i already have the physical cart on hand. That and I also play it on my computer emulator.

[Sumac]

Ha-ha-ha...Way to go Konami...rereleasing one of the actually worst games in the series...
Next thing that they should do is to release Haunted Castle (Version K) on Wii. I imagine reaction of new gamers on this game!! 

[Nagumo]

I kind of like Adventure. I'm suprised that so many people here react so negatively to it.
